   So a global, high carbon dioxide tax would be a perfect way to solve this, you say? That’d give markets incentive to do their thing.

   It's just what I've experienced myself when copying a lot of files. E.g. "add 50k photos from network drive to Photos" or "perform initial Time Machine backup". Over cable I'd say it's at least twice

   Wouldn't it be possible to conveniently hide your usual filesystem from the border officers by using the new APFS shared-filesystems-in-single-container feature, without having to pre-allocate and waste space for an additional hidden d

   Lots of the games I've bought have cloud synced saves on gog too.

   This is one of the reasons I make efforts to buy games via gog.com rather than Steam (the other reason is that Steam is dangerously close to a monopoly, and that never ends well).

   Both computers are connected the same Unifi network. One was a Macbook Pro using the builtin wireless (ac; listed as 144 Mbps in the Unifi controller iirc) and the other a Mac Mini connected via cable (1Gbps). They both pinged the router, s

   It makes a huge difference when copying lots of files over SMB, for example.

    Probably, but there's a difference between "US doing whatever it feels like whenever it feels like it" and "US acting in concert with the rest of the world".

    I had something similar, and IIRC it was fixed by reformatting the drive. Tedious, but Time Machine helps.

    There are apps that also validate the source and can automatically sign you in (or require a button press), e.g. https://www.kryptco.com Seems like it might be useful, but haven't had the time to try it out yet.

    More generally: sync is not backup. Backups need to have versioning (like Time Machine) or manual syncing (like rsync to external/remote drive).

    I think that's a legacy from MacOS Classic, where there was a way of keeping a handle to a file that was independent of the file's name (so you'd still point at the same file even if it was renamed).
